Sail into a lifetime of intellectual curiosity, exploration and opportunity.
Some of life’s greatest lessons are learned on our boats. Not to mention the nonstop sail and scuba training plus challenging marine science courses taught by experts in the field. Students climb aboard, often not knowing anyone or having any sailing experience at all, and very quickly form tight-knit bonds with fellow crewmates. As a key member of the crew, you learn about the importance of teamwork, decision-making and compromise as you work together to achieve common goals. Mastering scuba diving or sailing skills and being rewarded for your accomplishments also builds confidence in your own individual abilities and instills a feeling that anything you want to learn or do in life is within reach. For college students, our credit-bearing sailing programs are a unique and enlightening way to study oceanography, tropical marine biology and other marine sciences. Come join a small group of 10-12 sailors your age, plus experienced skippers, guides and instructors and sail hundreds of nautical miles - learning, exploring and achieving at every turn.
